Description

【0001】
【発明が属する技術分野】
本発明はエンジンヘッドカバー、チェーンカバーのような、2部材の対向面間をシールするガスケットに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
対向配置される2部材の対向面を密封するために、対向面間に環状のガスケットが挟まれ装着される。例えば、自動車のエンジンでは、シリンダヘッドとシリンダヘッドカバーの間や、シリンダブロックとフロントカバー等のカバー類との間にガスケットが装着されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。このような部位に装着されるガスケットして、例えば、本明細書の図1及び図5に示されるようなガスケットがある。このガスケット101は、シリンダヘッドカバー105の取付溝106に挿入される装着部102と、装着部102のシリンダヘッド108側の端面に形成されたシール突起103とを備えている。そして、ヘッドカバー105を樹脂等の比較的剛性の低い材質で形成する場合、装着部102の形状を縦長にするとともに取付溝106と装着部102との間に十分な隙間を確保することで、ヘッドカバー105がガスケット101の反力によって浮き上るのを防止するとともにガスケット101のへたりやシール性低下の防止を図っている。
【0003】
このようなガスケット101の場合、装着部102と取付溝106との間に隙間ができるため、シリンダヘッドカバー105の締め付け時に装着部102が座屈してしまい、安定した接触面積が得られず、シール性が低下することがあった。このため、従来、装着部102の両側面に、取付溝106に弾性接触する一対2組の環状突起104を形成し、ガスケット101の座屈や蛇行を防止するとともに取付時のガスケット101の脱落を防止するようにしている。
【0004】
【特許文献1】
特開平2002−71024号
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、このようなガスケット101の場合、環状突起部104により、シリンダヘッドカバー105の取付溝106と装着部102との間に密閉空間107ができる。雰囲気温度の上昇により、密閉空間107の空気が膨張し、密閉空間内の空気がエンジンの内外部に排出される。次に、雰囲気温度が下降すると、密閉空間107は、負圧になり、密閉空間107にエンジン内外部の空気が流入する。このとき、エンジン内部のオイルを一緒に吸い込んだり、外部の水やダストを吸い込む場合がある。このような雰囲気温度の変化による給排気を繰り返す結果、エンジン内部のオイルが外部に漏れ出したり、外部のダストや水などがエンジン内部に入り込む危険がある。また、密閉空間107同士の圧力差によって、装着部102が変形してしまい、安定した接触面圧を得ることができず、シール性が低下する危険があった。
【0006】
本発明はこのような従来の欠点を解消し、シール性の高いガスケットを提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上述の目的を達成するために請求項1記載の発明は、対向配置される2部材の対向面のいずれか一方にガスケットを取付ける環状の取付溝が形成されて、前記取付溝に装着部が挿入されて装着される環状のガスケットにおいて、前記装着部の両側面に環状突起を形成し、前記環状突起に円周状数カ所の切り欠きを形成することとした。したがって、請求項1記載の発明によれば、環状突起に数カ所の切り欠きを設けたので、シリンダヘッドカバーと装着部との間に密閉空間が形成されなくなり、外部にオイルが漏れ出たり、装着部の変形を防止することができる。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を、添付図面を参照しながら説明する。
【0009】
図2及び図3は本発明の実施例である。この実施例のガスケット1は、アクリルゴム等のエラストマで形成され、シリンダヘッド8と樹脂製のシリンダヘッドカバー6との間に挟まれ装着されている。ガスケット1には、シリンダヘッドカバー6の取付溝7に挿入される装着部2と、装着部2のシリンダヘッド8側の端面に形成されたシール突起3とを備えている。装着部2の両側面には、1対づつ2組の環状突起4が形成されており、図示されていないが、その円周上3カ所に切り欠き5が設けられている。ガスケット1の装着部2を取付溝7に挿入すると、環状突起4が取付溝7の側面と弾性接触して、ガスケットが取付溝7から脱落しないよう保持する。そして、ボルトによる締結時においては、環状突起4が装着部2の座屈や蛇行を防止して、安定した接触面圧を保ち、シール性の低下を防止している。そして、環状突起4に形成された切欠き5が取付溝7と装着部2との間に密閉空間が形成されるのを防止して、内圧変化による空気の給排気によるオイルやダストの吸い込みや、装着部2の変形を防止することができる。
【0010】
ここで、本実施例のガスケットは、装着部の厚さTと取付溝の幅Wの関係をW>T、装着部の高さHと厚さTとの関係を1.5≦H/T≦5、ガスケットの縦方向圧縮率を10〜40%となるように設計されている。この条件を満たすことで、低反発でシール性が良好なガスケットを得ることができ、シリンダヘッドカバーが樹脂等の比較的低剛性の材料で形成されたとしても、シリンダヘッドカバーが撓むことがなく、シリンダヘッドカバーの熱変形や寸法誤差などにより取付溝と装着部との密着面に隙間ができることも防止することができる。
【0011】
前記切欠き5は、少なくとも円周状1カ所設けてあれば良く、多くても、4カ所くらいで良い。多数の切欠き5を形成して、環状突起4の長さを短くしてしまうと、環状突起4が締結時の装着部2の変形に耐えうる強度が得られなくなったり、ガスケットが蛇行しやすくなる。また、金型構造が複雑になり製作費が増加してしまうからである。
【0012】
図4は、本発明の別の実施例を示している。図4記載のガスケット11は、フランジ部19を有した略T字状のガスケットであり、装着部12の両側面には、一対の環状突起が形成されている。この実施例においても、装着部の厚さTと取付溝の幅Wの関係をW>T、装着部の高さHと厚さTとの関係を1.5≦H/T≦5、ガスケットの縦圧縮方向を10〜40%となるように設計された低反発力ガスケットとなっている。この実施例においても、一対の環状突起がガスケット11の脱落を防止するとともに、ボルト締め付け時における装着部12の座屈を防止している。そして、環状突起に設けた数カ所の切り欠き15がシリンダヘッドカバー16の取付溝17と装着部12との間に密閉空間が形成されることを防止している。
【0013】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、本発明によれば、対向配置される2部材の対向面のいずれか一方にガスケットを取付ける環状の取付溝を形成し、前記取付溝に装着部が挿入されて取付けられる環状のガスケットにおいて、前記装着部の両側面に環状突起を形成し、前記環状突起部に数カ所の切り欠き部を形成したことで、装着部と取付溝との間に密閉空間が形成されず、内圧の変化によるオイルの給排気によるオイルやダストなどの吸い込みや装着部の変形を防止することができるとともに、ガスケットの脱落や座屈、蛇行を防止することができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a gasket for sealing between two opposing surfaces such as an engine head cover and a chain cover.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In order to seal the opposing surfaces of the two members arranged opposing to each other, an annular gasket is sandwiched and mounted between the opposing surfaces. For example, in an automobile engine, a gasket is mounted between a cylinder head and a cylinder head cover or between a cylinder block and covers such as a front cover (for example, see Patent Document 1). As a gasket attached to such a portion, for example, there is a gasket shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 of the present specification. The gasket 101 includes a mounting portion 102 inserted into the mounting groove 106 of the cylinder head cover 105, and a seal projection 103 formed on an end surface of the mounting portion 102 on the cylinder head 108 side. When the head cover 105 is formed of a relatively low-rigidity material such as resin, the mounting portion 102 is formed to be vertically long, and a sufficient gap is provided between the mounting groove 106 and the mounting portion 102 to thereby provide a head cover. This prevents the gasket 105 from floating due to the reaction force of the gasket 101 and also prevents the gasket 101 from sagging and lowering the sealing property.
[0003]
In the case of such a gasket 101, since a gap is formed between the mounting portion 102 and the mounting groove 106, the mounting portion 102 buckles when the cylinder head cover 105 is tightened, so that a stable contact area cannot be obtained, and the sealing property is not obtained. May decrease. For this reason, conventionally, a pair of two sets of annular projections 104 that elastically contact the mounting groove 106 are formed on both side surfaces of the mounting portion 102 to prevent the buckling and meandering of the gasket 101 and to prevent the gasket 101 from falling off during mounting. I try to prevent it.
[0004]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-2002-71024
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the case of such a gasket 101, a closed space 107 is formed between the mounting groove 106 of the cylinder head cover 105 and the mounting portion 102 by the annular projection 104. Due to the rise in the ambient temperature, the air in the closed space 107 expands, and the air in the closed space is discharged to the inside and outside of the engine. Next, when the ambient temperature decreases, the pressure in the sealed space 107 becomes negative, and air inside and outside the engine flows into the sealed space 107. At this time, oil inside the engine may be sucked together, or external water or dust may be sucked. As a result of repeating the supply and exhaust due to such a change in the ambient temperature, there is a risk that oil inside the engine leaks to the outside or that dust and water from the outside enter the engine. In addition, the mounting portion 102 is deformed due to the pressure difference between the sealed spaces 107, so that a stable contact surface pressure cannot be obtained, and there is a danger that the sealing performance is reduced.
[0006]
An object of the present invention is to solve such a conventional disadvantage and to provide a gasket having a high sealing property.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to attain the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, an annular mounting groove for mounting a gasket is formed on one of the opposing surfaces of the two members arranged to face each other, and a mounting portion is inserted into the mounting groove. In the annular gasket to be mounted and mounted, annular projections are formed on both side surfaces of the mounting portion, and several notches are formed in the annular projection. Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, since several cutouts are provided in the annular projection, a closed space is not formed between the cylinder head cover and the mounting portion, and oil leaks to the outside or the mounting portion is not provided. Can be prevented from being deformed.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0009]
2 and 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. The gasket 1 of this embodiment is formed of an elastomer such as acrylic rubber, and is sandwiched and mounted between a cylinder head 8 and a resin cylinder head cover 6. The gasket 1 includes a mounting portion 2 inserted into the mounting groove 7 of the cylinder head cover 6, and a seal projection 3 formed on an end surface of the mounting portion 2 on the cylinder head 8 side. Two sets of annular projections 4 are formed on each side surface of the mounting portion 2, and notches 5 are provided at three places on the circumference of the ring projections 4, though not shown. When the mounting portion 2 of the gasket 1 is inserted into the mounting groove 7, the annular projection 4 makes elastic contact with the side surface of the mounting groove 7, and holds the gasket from falling off the mounting groove 7. At the time of fastening with bolts, the annular projection 4 prevents buckling and meandering of the mounting portion 2, maintains a stable contact surface pressure, and prevents a decrease in sealing performance. The notch 5 formed in the annular projection 4 prevents a closed space from being formed between the mounting groove 7 and the mounting portion 2, so that oil and dust can be sucked in and supplied by air supply and exhaust due to a change in internal pressure. The deformation of the mounting portion 2 can be prevented.
[0010]
Here, in the gasket of this embodiment, the relationship between the thickness T of the mounting portion and the width W of the mounting groove is W> T, and the relationship between the height H of the mounting portion and the thickness T is 1.5 ≦ H / T. ≦ 5, the longitudinal compression ratio of the gasket is designed to be 10 to 40%. By satisfying this condition, a gasket with good resilience and good sealing properties can be obtained, and even if the cylinder head cover is formed of a relatively low-rigidity material such as resin, the cylinder head cover does not bend, It is also possible to prevent a gap from being formed in the close contact surface between the mounting groove and the mounting portion due to thermal deformation or dimensional error of the cylinder head cover.
[0011]
The notch 5 may be provided at least at one circumferential position, and may be at most about four. If a number of notches 5 are formed and the length of the annular projection 4 is reduced, the annular projection 4 cannot have sufficient strength to withstand the deformation of the mounting portion 2 at the time of fastening, or the gasket tends to meander. Become. In addition, the mold structure becomes complicated and the production cost increases.
[0012]
FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention. The gasket 11 shown in FIG. 4 is a substantially T-shaped gasket having a flange portion 19, and a pair of annular projections is formed on both side surfaces of the mounting portion 12. Also in this embodiment, the relationship between the thickness T of the mounting portion and the width W of the mounting groove is W> T, the relationship between the height H of the mounting portion and the thickness T is 1.5 ≦ H / T ≦ 5, Is a low repulsion gasket designed such that the vertical compression direction of the gasket is 10 to 40%. Also in this embodiment, the pair of annular projections prevent the gasket 11 from falling off and also prevent the mounting portion 12 from buckling when tightening the bolt. Several cutouts 15 provided in the annular projection prevent the formation of a closed space between the mounting groove 17 of the cylinder head cover 16 and the mounting portion 12.
[0013]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, an annular mounting groove for mounting a gasket is formed on one of the opposing surfaces of the two members arranged to face each other, and the mounting portion is inserted and mounted in the mounting groove. In the gasket, annular projections are formed on both side surfaces of the mounting portion, and several notches are formed in the annular projection, so that a closed space is not formed between the mounting portion and the mounting groove, and the internal pressure is reduced. It is possible to prevent oil or dust from being sucked or deformed by the supply and exhaust of oil due to the change, and to prevent the mounting portion from being deformed, and also prevent the gasket from falling off, buckling, and meandering.
